a musical vortex...

I don't usually post things like this. I was going to post some fun jewelry finds I picked up while treasure hunting with my daughter, but I think that will have to wait until tomorrow because of the vortex I've been sucked into.

Join me in the vortex won't you? Today, take 4 minutes and listen to this kid sing. He's wonderful. You don't even have to sit and watch for the 4 minutes, just start it and listen while you do something else but watching it is fun because you can tell he really feels the music. I felt inspired and joyful afterward (and clicked on all the links to hear him sing many other songs - I told you.......vortex).

THEN, if you'd like to spiral down even further and blow off the laundry, dusting and other general things you should be doing - find 8 minutes. Seriously, find them and use them to watch this one. Read the subtitles, discover his story. This soul who, at 5 years old, was alone wandering the streets, will inspire you.

We all have a song in our heart, he sure did. I can't stop thinking about him. I want to adopt him. He has inspired me today. Inspired me and made me weep like a small child. I'm weeping in the vortex of inspirational music videos on youtube when I should be working on jewelry and putting away laundry. Whatever. Vortex today, laundry tomorrow.

The second I heard his name I knew he was Korean and as a child would have problems in Japan. There is much lingering hatred between Japan and Korea that goes back forever.As much as I love living in Japan they have some real problems although many are getting better.But even 20 years ago a part Korean child left on his own would have such problems.

When people have incredibly hard lives I hope for a wonderful rewards somewhere. Let's hope the Korean young man can start to experience only good from this point on. Teary stuff!Both lads are inspirational.
